It was actually refreshing to eat at a Korean place that doesn't have bibimbap and kimchi jjigae on the menu.

The best part of our meal was the octopus dish, $39 but worth it.

My family and I found this place the first year my son was at West Point. We have been eating here…read moreevery chance we have had when visiting my son at West Point. The meat quality is the best I have had anywhere. The small dishes are excellent. I am not a soup person but their cabbage and beef short rib is without comparison. I have tried to get it other places and it cannot be beaten. The service is very attentive and helpful. They even do the cooking for you at the table. You must let them do this. It is the best way to make sure everyone gets to eat. Usually the cook is too busy to eat. The restaurant is clean and artfully arranged. Kind of a melding of upscale traditional decor. I regret that our chances to eat at this restaurant will be running out now that my son is in his final year at West Point. The wife has even been trying to figure a way for him to go back and teach so we can eat here again.

The dining space looked nice, there were some decorations for the festive season as well. The menu had starters, side dishes, noodles, and of course the K-BBQ, both individual and sets. We ordered a first set that came with 5 different meats including pork belly, prime ribs and steaks. The meat tasted good and they were cooked fine in the grill by the staff member. We also had free side items like cucumber, kimchi, macaroni, mixed greens and rice. We ordered few additional items like edamame, seafood pancake, beef dumplings and japchae. Everyone loved the thin noodles of japchae. Edamame and dumplings were fine. I didn't like the pancake as it had a very dense and bland tasting dough. Overall our dining experience was decent. Our server handles the grilled fine, efficiently cooked all the meat items and spread them on two sides of the tables. She also kept refilling the side items as needed.

In addition to food, they offer drinks like sparkling ade, coffee, tea, smoothies, and K-yogurt. I was really excited to try their toasts and kimbap, so I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon. It's located on a corner with plenty of street parking in the area. It's a casual atmosphere with a modern and minimalistic interior design. There's seating for small and large groups. The menu items are reasonably priced and budget-friendly. I ordered the Korean Street Toast ($7.99) and Kimchi Tuna Kimbap ($7 for 10 pieces). Service was on the slower end... although the employees were friendly, it took around 20+ minutes to get my food. I appreciated that everything was freshly prepared, but I recommend ordering ahead if you're short on time. The K-Street toast included a vegetable omelette (cabbage, carrots, green onions, corn), shredded cabbage/carrots, smoked ham, and cheese. You have the option of having it sweet or unsweet. The sweetened version has a light sugar coating over the toast. I went with that and I HAVE NO REGRETS - the bread was soft and buttery with a crispy exterior. The sandwich had the perfect blend of different flavors and textures - crunchy, creamy, savory, sweet. The portion size was filling for a light meal. The kimbap roll included kimchi, tuna, radish, carrot, spinach, burdock, and seasoned rice wrapped in dried seaweed. The ingredients are most definitely fresh and their flavors blended really well together - you can tell after just one bite! I recommend this roll if you like tuna salad. Can't wait to try more of the menu!

They still make really good wings. Loved the soy garlic crispy layer on top of the moist chicken. The side of radish cubes are also good. Now they have an app for ordering from any bb.q location, that earns points for the order. These points can be redeemed towards future orders. Got 7000 points just for signing up.

When I got inside she said next time when you order, pick up at 8:30pm. The second I left she turned off the lights to the store -- while the rest of her workers were still cleaning in the back -- and stormed out straight to her car by 8:45p. First off - I was well within the time of pick up. Scolding your customers for being "late" is unnecessary. If you want to close at 8:45p, then move your hours of operation versus getting mad at your customers which seems to be a norm reading another persons review on this place. To make matters worse -- when we got home, the chicken was still pink in the middle probably because they rushed to get the order in. To be rude to the customers who support your business and make us feel like an inconvenience is bad business. Top it off, selling uncooked chicken, just to make the buck, yikes. I will never buy from this location again. Better believe, I'll be at the store tomorrow, waiting for a refund.

Once your order is ready your number is called and you pick up your tray of food. There is signage in the restaurant indicating that they are self-serve and that you shouldn't tip. My girlfriend and I ordered beef soup and a seafood pancake. The food was prepared fairly quickly and they called our number to pick up the food from the counter. The seafood pancake was pretty good. Very flavorful but I felt like it was thicker and more doughy than I prefer. I would probably skip this for the next visit. The beef soup was delicious as well. It was just the right temperature and it was salty and savory enough without being overwhelming. We went on a particularly cold day so the hot soup really hit the spot. The pieces of beef in the soup were super tender too. Continuing the self-service theme there was a water dispenser and there was even a dispenser of broth at the pick up counter. I liked that broth even more than the broth in the beef soup. I slurped up several cups of it. I'd certainly come back.
